Portrait of the 'Lark' (1675)
Portrait of the ‘Lark’, sixth rate of 18 guns built in 1675; she was sold in 1698.
She is viewed from abaft the port beam. There are possibly ten square decorated ports on a broadside. An elaborate badge with a small light is on the quarter.
It is a rapid but very accurate drawing done without the help of an offset.
